[INTRO]
E B E .
[VERSE]
E A E My name's John McArthur and I work this dirt
E A E 'Til they lay me down in it in my one good shirt
E A C#m I kept my family fed with a mule and a plow
C#m B E I'm a whisper in the wind through the pine trees now
[CHORUS]
B E And my bloodline, it bled on this ground
B E Soon we all find that's where we're bound
A E And father time don’t leave anyone out
B E When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
[VERSE]
E A E I'm Junior McArthur and I joined my old man
E A E By way of a bullet in vietnam
E Left behind my woman
A C#m And my boy named Jones
A B E Never got to meet him, but he's carrying along
[CHORUS]
B E My bloodline, that bled on this ground
B E Soon we all find that's where we're bound
A E And father time don’t leave anyone out
B E When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
[INSTRUMENTAL]
E B E .
[VERSE]
E A E I'm Jones McArthur and I tried like hell
E A E To teach my son why the man don't sell
E A C#m But he came home from college seein’ dollar signs
A B E Didn't wanna Go to work, just wanted me to die
[VERSE]
E I'm Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good
E In eighteen months this’ll be a neighborhood
E Emaj7 C#m I got a million dollar line I could sign my name on
A But there's a whisper in the pines
B E That’s telling me, "don’t" sayin’
[CHORUS]
B E My bloodline, it bled on this ground
B E Soon we all find that's where we're bound
A E And father time don’t leave anyone out
B E When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
[OUTRO]
And when you pass on
What you gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down, gonna pass down
Gonna pass down
